she is sweeter than sugar

Gu Ci's eyes fell on the small metal ball in his hand, with some thoughts.

This small metal ball is...

The urgent phone call suddenly rang at this moment.

Frowning, she withdrew her thoughts and put the ball back into her pocket.

After picking up the phone, a sound of mechanical and electronic flow sounded immediately.

"Cicai, phone... SMS... answer... urgent... critical... answer..."

Gu Ci's eyelids twitched, and then she hung up the call. Looking at her incoming call, she found that the old man who had been blacklisted by her had called a lot in the past few days.

Lu Qinghuan also made a lot of phone calls.

In addition, there was a call from Eric.

It's just that because of Luobaishan's special situation, she didn't receive a single call.

The phone calls and text messages accumulated to such an extent that it triggered the emergency notification in her mobile phone.

Gu Ci thought of the thing on Gu Zhiran's hand, her eyebrows twitched slightly.

Call Lu Qinghuan back.

But this time, Lu Qinghuan didn't answer.

Gu Ci thought for a moment, then called an assistant in the Ivy Research Institute...

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be busy with something, so it took a while to connect.After receiving Gu Ci's call, the person on the other end seemed surprised, "Teacher Gu?"

Due to the particularity of Gu Ci's identity, there is no one called Professor Gu Ci, either Sister Gu Cici or Teacher Gu Ci.

Gu Ci responded with lowered eyes, "Has anything happened in the institute recently?"

"In the institute? Didn't anything happen in the institute?"

The assistant on the phone had a confused look on his face and a deep sense of perplexity in his tone.

Gu Ci frowned slightly.

At this moment, the assistant spoke again.

"However, the director hasn't come back for several days. He has been busy with a lot of things, but he can't be contacted. However, many professors have been transferred out of the institute during this period. I don't know what they are going to do."

There was a bit of wailing and a bit of muttering in the assistant's voice.

"Mr. Gu, if your vacation is over, I beg you to come back quickly. There are only a few of us here, and the running data is almost unbearable."

Gu Ci's temple twitched, and after saying a few words, he hung up the phone.

After thinking about it, she called Eric's phone again. This time, the busy signal rang on Eric's phone.

Gu Ci touched her nose, feeling a little strange.

Maybe, it's because I'm busy...

In the blink of an eye, Gu Ci put this matter behind her.

Part of the Xia family fled, and part of it was already under the control of the Jiang and Shen families.

There are still many things left over from the Xia family to deal with.

In addition, there are other families that have defected to the Xia family before, and they also need to be dealt with accordingly.

Gu Ci didn't care about it, and threw everything to Patriarch Jiang and Patriarch Shen, while she quietly left Luobai Mountain and returned to Songdu.

There seems to be something wrong with Rong Ye's family. Instead of going back to Songdu with Gu Ci, they stayed in the imperial capital.

I haven't come back for a few days, but it seems like a lifetime away.

Gu Ci went to the villa, but didn't see Lu Qinghuan, not even her two cubs.

But the door lock didn't show the slightest sign of being pried open.

She raised her eyebrows slightly.

At this moment, she suddenly felt something, and while raising her vigilance in her heart, she subconsciously turned around, and said in a low voice, "Who?"

The old man's voice sounded somewhat unclear, full of air, "The daughter of Professor Gu Changrong and Professor Su Wansu?"

When hearing that voice, Gu Ci blinked, subconsciously wanting to run.

"Gu Ci!!! Damn girl, where are you going to run to me?!! Okay, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have conjured up a parent out of thin air for me! You can go now, do you want me to come to you? Why don't you go and sit at your parents' house?"

The old man's furious and furious voice, accompanied by the sound of slamming his cane hard, made Gu Ci subconsciously stop, and obediently stood where he was.

"Cough, Mr. Yuan, good morning."

She looked up, and saw that the old man was standing at the door, panting for breath, still wearing the experimental protective suit that he hadn't taken off in time.

After hearing Gu Ci's voice, Mr. Yuan blew so hard that his beard blew out. He leaned on his crutches and took two steps forward, swung his crutches and hit Gu Ci's body.

"Early! Early! Early! I let you go early! I let you go early!"

It seemed to be hard, but it didn't really fall on Gu Ci's body at all.

"Old man, listen to my explanation..."

"Explain?" The old man narrowed his eyes, "Explain! I'll let you explain! You bastard usually walks slowly, but he runs faster than anyone else!"

A quarter of an hour passed, and the old man sat on the sofa out of breath, and threw the cane he had been leaning on at this moment aside, ignoring it.

Gu Ci sat at the farthest place from the old man, "So... what's going on now?"

Gu Ci knew that the reason why he was able to roam outside successfully for so long must be due to the fact that Mr. Yuan turned a blind eye.

Otherwise, even if Lu Qinghuan was forced to question, Mr. Yuan would be able to find her whereabouts.

Now that Mr. Yuan can find her in this way, on the one hand, he has discovered her whereabouts, and on the other hand, it is also because something really happened.

Speaking of business, Mr. Yuan's eyes became serious.

"Do you still remember the RTC-1 extract? At that time, our institute had already banned the use of this extract in drug research related to the human body."

Gu Ci paused, "What happened?"

"Lu Qinghuan had already dealt with the previous matter, but the bastard Meng family and Wen family were secretly researching related medicines. When they put the medicines on animals for experiments, a virus came out, which was extremely contagious. Now there are Quite a few people have been infected, and the situation is... not very good."

As the old man said, he handed over the document that he had been holding to Gu Ci.

"Currently, the higher authorities are still able to suppress this matter for the time being. They are still secretly investigating whether there are other infected objects. The situation can still be controlled, but if there is no way to fight this virus... it will break out sooner or later."

"Because that kind of virus has the characteristics of RTC-1 extract by accident, and has a strong self-replication and repair ability, which is very tricky."

Gu Ci took the document and read it at a glance.

Finally, she closed the file.

"Where's Lu Qinghuan? And my cub."
